I tried to submit the bug on the mailing list on 5/12/23 but looking at the archives it is not there. So I am posting here.
SCons version: 4.0.1, installed via pip from pypi
Python 3.10 from python.org
Windows 10, Visual Studio 2019.
def GetVCVarsPath():¬
vswhere_path = os.path.expandvars('%ProgramFiles(x86)%/Microsoft Visual Studio/Installer/vswhere.exe')¬
args = [vswhere_path,¬
'-format', 'json',¬
'-utf8',¬
'-version', '[16.0,)'] # VS2019+¬
# Prefer older Visual Studio versions over newer ones¬
for cand in sorted(json.loads(check_output(args).decode('utf-8')),¬
key=lambda cand: cand['installationVersion']):¬
install_path = cand['installationPath']¬
vcvars_path = os.path.join(install_path,¬
'VC',¬
'Auxiliary',¬

return vcvars_path
We use MSVC_USE_SCRIPT=GetVCVarsPath(), function defined above. Users might also have Visual Studio 2022 installed, but this build requires VS2019.
Describe the bug
I set up a scons-based build system at my organization. Some users have complained to me that they can only run the build as administrator. I am not able to reproduce that problem myself. Here is the error message that the users who are affected get when they build as a non-admin.
cl : Command line error D8050 : cannot execute 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.20.27508\bin\HostX64\x64\c1xx.dll': failed to get command line into debug records
scons: building terminated because of errors.
I can try to get a minimal reproducible example, but apparently any c++ scons build is affected for these users. We use Visual Studio 2019
scons is invoked from python in a virtual environment where scons is installed as a subprocess. The executable in the subprocess is determined using the result of the subprocess where scons.
